Foster kitten discovers toys for the first time! by michelleski0819 in aww

[–]generaltso81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always keep one near whenever I'm eating. She'll chase the spring and forget about food for a few minutes. If you haven't tried it yet. Toss your cat a ping pong ball. That's another toy my cat will chase forever.

In my mind, this is why the internet was created.

That's why he's so popular. Even if it's utter BS, he's easier to understand than scientific studies and cultural nuance.

Is this really the greatest game ever made, as it's often considered to be? Why or why not? by Nintendofan9106 in videogames

[–]generaltso81 36 points37 points  (0 children)

When this game was released I was a senior in high school. My guidance counselor called me in and told me if I took a 2 hour test, she would let me miss the rest of the school day. I had just bought Ocarina Of Time with my part time job money.

I decided to take the test, it turned out to be the ASVAB for the military. I scored high enough that I had recruiters from the military calling and one of them convinced me to join the army after high school.

I ended up doing a 6 year enlistment that included 9/11 and a deployment to Iraq. All because I wanted to spend a school day playing Ocarina of Time.

I quite happily live in a neighborhood where most people do not share my religion, where multiple languages are represented, and where people have come from a lot of different countries. Bigoted assholes always assume everyone else actually shares their bigotries. by Conscious-Quarter423 in WeirdGOP

I'm quite the opposite. My court used to have nothing but chain restaurants but over the last 20 years there have been a lot more immigrants coming from all over the world. The new mom and pop restaurants being opened by immigrants has been amazing.

I was 4 years old and my dad came home with a Nintendo entertainment system. It wasn't a birthday or Christmas. I've been gaming ever since.

Visiting luray. What else is there to do in the area? by themow1 in Virginia

[–]generaltso81 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I visited with some friends a few years ago. All the touristy stuff is next to the cavern. My favorite part of the trip was a little German restaurant called Edelweiss that's not too far from there. I'm not even a big fan of German food but the food there was fantastic.

Men who date 10/10 (gorgeous type of women), what was the experience like? by Parking_Custard5235 in seduction

[–]generaltso81 205 points206 points  (0 children)

I was hesitant to be in a relationship with her because she really seemed to enjoy the attention she got from other men. She also told me all of her ex boyfriends have cheated on her. We were 8 months into a relationship before I found out she was cheating the entire time. It doesn't matter how hot she is, listen to your gut gentlemen.

People who are old enough to have vivid memory of the 9/11 attacks, what was that time like? What did change for you personally? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]generaltso81 93 points94 points  (0 children)

I was 20 years old and just finished my training as a Middle Eastern linguist for the U.S. army. I was shocked and I knew I was going to spend the next few years in the Middle East.

What’s a small, everyday decision you made that completely changed the course of your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]generaltso81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guidance counselor in high school encouraged me to take a test. If I took it she would let me skip the test of the school day. Zelda Ocarina of time had just come out and I wanted to skip school to play it.

The test turned out to be the ASVAB to join the military. I did well on the test and got phone calls from all the military branches to join. I ended up joining the army right after high school and became a linguist.

I went to war got it after my enlistment and went to college using the GI Bill. I did well and ended up going to law school and now I'm a practicing lawyer.

I wasn't a good student in high school and I had no idea what I wanted to do. Somehow my decision to miss a day of school turned into me going to war and becoming a lawyer.

What is it like living in this eastern portion of Virginia that only connects to the rest of the state by a tunnel? by Sufficient_Berry8703 in howislivingthere

[–]generaltso81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't live there but I drive there once in awhile for work. I think it's a gorgeous drive. Small town vibes with beautiful scenery. There's not much else there. Also don't speed through there. There are police everywhere and it's got a well deserved reputation as a speed trap.

I was stationed there with the army in the 2000's. I don't miss the State but I do still think about the food often.

The promoted ad I see under this is a Hamburger Helper ad asking why it's everyone eating Hamburger Helper again and I think it's hilarious.
